2022 Student Experience Survey shows positive results

Published: 

Thank you for your participation in the 2022 Student Experience Survey (SES) - the results are in and they show a significant improvement in a range of areas compared with our results for the previous two years.

Our undergraduates' satisfaction with their overall experience in 2022 was 70%, up from 67% in 2021 and 60% in 2020.  

There were significant improvements in the quality indicators of Learning Resources – 82% in 2022, up from 76% in 2021; and Learner Engagement – a substantial 11% increase to 57% for 2022, from 46% in 2021. Undergraduate international students showed improvements across every indicator in 2022. 

Our postgraduate students’ satisfaction with their educational experience was 77%, up 3% from 2021 and an impressive 13% increase from 2020.  

Our results for postgraduate students are especially positive, with our highest ever scores for overall satisfaction and in five out of six quality indicators including for teaching quality – 82%, learning resources – 86% and skills development – 78%.

As the 2023 academic year begins, UNSW embraces opportunities to further enhance your student experience and is hopeful we'll see further improvements from the 2023 survey responses this time next year.

President and Vice-Chancellor, Attila Brungs thanks all students for completing the SES each year; the insights gained from your responses are vital in identifying what we’re doing well and areas in which we can do better - it is worth the time and effort you take to respond to the survey. These results reflect the efforts across UNSW to understand how your preferences, expectations and aspirations have changed over the past few years, and to respond accordingly - now and for the future.
